Species at risk

When Canada enacted the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) in June 2003 to address the mounting threats to Canada’s endangered species, it was an important day for wildlife protection in North America.

Nature Canada has called on the federal government to choose recovery over extinction for our species at risk. Decisive implementation of the Act is required to ensure Canada’s species receive the protection they deserve.

Nature Canada has offered four recommendations the federal government can act on to realize the full potential of this important legislation.
